    The ability to focus and go into a psychological state of Deep Work is where the real edge is. You know when you are engaging in Deep Work when your thoughts are no longer wandering and your attention is in the moment and focusing on the task at hand. If you find yourself engaging in work and your mind drifts in and out of concentration, you have not achieved a state of Deep Work. Once you develop "the ability to focus without distraction on a cognitively demanding task", you will attain "Superhuman Performance". These are the lessons that I have learned while on the journey to improving my mental performance.

    Something I definitely noticed is that, when I'm studying something that I'm not confident in, I study a lot better. Maybe this sounds a bit counter intuitive, as in, if I'm more confident in a certain subject, shouldn't I feel more confortable reviewing everything? Well, I don't really understand it, but maybe it has to do with flow state. Studying something that I'm less confident in may increase the relative complexity of the subject and, especially if I'm working up to a big exam, increase the risk of failure if I don't study effectively. Plus, the feeling of *starting to understand*, maybe pattern recognition, just motivates me to no end, and it really feels amazing, and I can spend hours just learning, and ACTUALLY learn. On the other hand, if I'm already relatively confident, or have the impression that that would be the case, I fail to stay focused, even if I know I need to study to get a good grade, and I can't spend much time looking at the books without my mind wandering off. Not sure if this would necessarily be what this video is talking about, but it really resonated somehow.

    I can relate to this. I believe we must question ourselves, 'to what extent do I really know and understand the subject in question?'. Confidence is good, but it can be self-sabotage you if you become overly confident in the level of knowledge you have, which most of the times when you actually stop to realize what you truly know or not, you come to the conclusion that maybe you don't know as much as you thought you did. This will alert you to the fact you need to know more, and pressures you of the incoming danger of failing a test or getting a low score, making you realize you really need to put in the work, it shifts your mindset. Of course, theoretically this sounds about right, in practice it's a bit harder, but it's an effort people like you and me who feel this way must make in order not to sabotage ourselves.

    This happens to me as well when I'm revising something.. If I'm even slightly confident about it, I just can't concentrate for longer times. If it's difficult for me, I end up spending a lot more interest and time on it without even realising it. This could be novelty and complexity or risk considering how ill fail if I don't work.

    If you have ADHD, don’t be too discouraged- Our hyperfocus state is flow, and you know how strong/intense it can be. It’s just that directing our attention towards that hyperfocus and coming in & out of that state costs us a lot more mental energy than most people. (Good sleep habits, healthy eating, meditation, exercise, and knowledge about how it works are the best defenses against distractible thought patterns!)

    These last two videos helped me to realize what is so addictive about language learning: It is essentially a cocktail of these 5 dopamine triggers. I've now seen that a great way to start a learning session is to watch 10 minutes of a conversation or video that you already understand in the language (pattern recognition), and perhaps do that in a new place. Just doing this alone helped me to have the best 2 hour session of French that I've ever had this morning. Thanks Steven and Matt, amazing content as always.

Any time I do something I always question whether or not it's good enough to put out there under my own name. Did you ever go through something similar when starting your channel, and how did you overcome it?

    I am 17 and still young but because of you I learned a loooooooot from life! I also try to become minimalistic, just buy necessary stuff and to become productive. I first finish all my work, make my timeplan ( I was organized since birth, I guess its just my nature) and then I do things that I like for example watching KZread and then I read some books. Finishing all of my work makes me extreme(!!) proud and happy, especially the part when I can chill a bit after finishing my work, without feeling guilty that I still have to finish my work. Thank you Matt! You are a big inspiration for a young girl like me. Keep on the good work! Sorry for my English, I am German, so English is obviously not my native language, but hey! You have another international fan here. ^-^ Have a nice day!!
